Teradata Integrating C, Java Libraries


By P. J. Connolly
July 1, 2007 — 
Teradata announced in late May that it would be integrating two numerical libraries from Visual Numerics into its line of applications and tools.

After looking at the available third-party options, explained Teradata senior advanced analytics product manager Robert Juhasz, the company chose Visual Numerics because it was established, it had robust libraries with a number of analytic functions, and it had a track record in a broad range of industries.

The IMSL C Numerical Library and JMSL Numerical Library for Java are intended to help customers build forecasting tools and predictive analysis applications by incorporating neural network technology. This allows users to build predictive models, using historical data and training the network to tweak the model as data accumulates.

This training takes a repeated series of forecasts and makes comparisons against actual outcomes.

Teradata—in the process of splitting off from NCR—has already begun work on building the JMSL library into its apps and expects to release updates by the end of June; no timetable has been set for doing the same with the IMSL library.
